"Overall, we had a pretty good day," said Head Coach Carolyn Martin. "The first meet is always a challenge and we have a lot of work to do this year. I'm looking forward to a great indoor season."
The meet was highlighted in the 800-meter race as three Quinnipiac athletes placed in the top-five positions. Hannah Donadio (Killingworth, Conn.) finished in third place with a time of 2:25.26, while Rebecca Smith (Hardyston, N.J.) and Alexandra Seitz (Annendale, N.J.) finished in fourth and fifth, respectively.

"I'm really excited to see how our 800-meter group will perform this season," said Martin. "They've already made improvements from last year and they're running faster, so I am eager to see how this group develops."
